as a student here the administration does not care about you unless you are on suicide watch or on the football team. the admin are rude and inconsiderate of the students. the new principal has removed the rule that allowed you to get to class early. you only have 5 minutes to cross the campus and get to class on time. the building doors being locked after the bell does not help with this either. the students are too cliquey, which discourages from joining clubs or activities. please consider a different school

I am the mother of a student who, unfortunately, has suffered from bullying at school — as have many others. I see that most teachers do not get involved enough to teach students about respect and empathy.My son has ADHD, with a medical report and medication, but few people understand him or know how to support him. It took him a whole year to adjust, and now he has new teachers and classmates. He tries to stay away from trouble, but other students sometimes provoke him, and teachers often don’t notice what really happens. As a result, he ends up being punished for things that are not his fault.I believe the school must take more responsibility. Too often, they act as if these problems don’t exist and only step in when situations become serious. Bullying should be addressed early, and teachers need better training to support children with learning and behavioral challenges.Even with these issues, I still recommend the school, because compared to others with lower ratings, it is one of the better options. However, these problems — even if caused by a small group — should not be ignored. The actions and attitudes of teachers and staff today will have a lasting impact on the students’ future.

This is the only elementary school in the district that offers band, which has been a wonderful opportunity for students. The school feels welcoming from the moment you walk in. The staff and teachers are hardworking, dedicated, and truly care about their students’ growth and success. There is a strong sense of community, and it’s clear the school is committed to giving kids a well-rounded education. We are very grateful for the support and opportunities our children have received here.
